Howto open a filter driver remotely

I have filterdriver running on a network host and want to open it from
another computer on the network. Can it be done with CreateFile ??

I tried Createfile with:

??\UNC\Hostname\SharedDrive\devicename
\Device\Mup\Hostname\SharedDrive\devicename
\Device\LanmanRedirector\HostName\SharedDrive\devicename

without success. ( gives me a Path not found massage )

regards,
Silvio

No. You will need to write all remoting infrastructure by yourself.
Auxiliary user process which is a DCOM service is a good idea.
